[INFO] Topps Allen & Ginter Reference Thread

[dolphriends]

Nor does it include the 1/1 Topps Vault Cards. Or the extremely valuable 5x7 ERROR rare "unicorn".  If you going to talk about "valuable" Cryptocurrency Rookies, then these cards fall into that category, easily.



1/1 Topps Vault 3-in-1 Card Cryptocurrency (Graded)

1/1 Topps  5 x 7 ERROR Card Cryptocurrency (Only the 5x7 cards came initially/originally in a complete sealed set, the rest were box's and packs. 49 of the "colorized " sets & 10 of the  "Gold" sets.) Graded

1/1 Topps Vault Cryptocurrency  Not sure if the owner of this card had it graded yet or not.

I think the most serious of buyers out there will be on the look-out for the following cards, the red mini, the silver mini, the glow in the dark all graded PSA 10.  These cards are rare on their own and a PSA 10 would be extremely rare.  Could they reach the numbers the magic card was getting, maybe !!

[dolphriends]

Personally I don't think you can ever go wrong with any printing plate, red or silver mini, or glow in the dark of the #83, #222 solar or the #213 egg.  These are so rare I would think they would make a lot of noise if they show up.    Someone picked up a super deal on the extremely rare solar glowie, I never saw it.

Well, time will tell the tale...it always does. Until then, it's anyone's guess. You and I can agree to disagree, as I know there are others that will disagree with you. Doesn't really matter.....until the point of sale for each card. That's "definitive", and will definitely tell the tale. I am interested in the Crypto Rookie cards, and ANY 1/1 card will be valuable...regardless of it's size, color, grade, etc.....that's all that matters for those cards, that they are the ONLY one like it, and Serious collectors will seek those cards out to add to their collections. Regardless if you agree with that statement or not. And 1/1 cards are way more pricey than a run of 5 or 25 cards are, historically. Period. * mike-drop

 Truth is, we all have our own ideas of what cards will cost more to acquire down the line, and what one's are dud's. Collectors have their own ideas, and no one's going to force a collector into their way of thinking, that's for sure. No matter how many times they try to suggest it.

*I'd like to know when we're going to see Crypto Cards in the Basketball series sets, box's and packs....any news on that front? I'm sure we'd all like to hear about that.

I am not into too much of cards but obviously crypro craze made me look into this now.
I have a question how do you buy Topps Allen & Ginter cards? I went to their website I do see they sell cards by set or box but not these cards.
How do you get these cards beside buying from auctions or from person? Is there a way to buy these cards from the company website directly and if is it what is the name of the set?

Thanks in advance.

There are also plenty of people here who have extras that would likely be willing to sell. Also ebay.

All of the sets have been sold, and the remaining set's that have not been cracked so far, prolly won't be cracked open, they're all held by collectors in here.... I'm pretty sure.  Box's and packs will be your best bet. Anything rare, will cost you a bundle....but you're not out of the game, just because you showed up late, the right box could score you a massive score. But what they won't tell you is, you could buy 20 box's and not get anything. On the other hand, you could buy a case and hit the BONANZA!  Not 1 wooden card has shown up from the 2018 Topps Allen Ginter box's. Then again, 20 years from now, someone might discover that they had them under their bed in an unbroken case.....still anyone's game    

Good Luck!

Maybe we will see some crypto basketball coins first and then maybe some cards, I'm a strong believer in patience.  sometimes lol

Are there even any basketball card lines that include non-basketball players? In the baseball card world, the A&G line is an oddity for including non-players and inanimate objects. Are there any basketball card lines that do the same? If not, then I doubt that we'd see a crypto card in any line of collectible cards other than baseball's A&G. (It would be nice to see a follow-up in the A&G line someday.)

Chris

Oh, that's awesome! Which lines feature non-basketball players? Do any of the lines feature inanimate objects?

Edit: I just searched the Leaf website. I don't believe they print non-basketball players. Can you show an example card?

Ah! I see our misunderstanding now. You and I are talking about two different things. Those Leaf Pop Century cards aren't a line of BASKETBALL cards. They are merely a line of collectible (non-sports) trading cards which happen to be made by a company (Leaf) that also makes sports cards, including some basketball cards.

When you said that maybe we'll see some crypto basketball cards, I thought you were talking seeing crypto cards in a line of BASKETBALL cards, like we saw in baseball's A&G / Ginter lines.

Again, we're obviously talking about two different things. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

I would agree that any crypto-themed trading cards are nice to see on the market. (For example, the Crypto Cosmos playing cards released here by Kryptowerk last year. While those are game cards, they are fairly close to being traditional trading cards, IMHO.) However, seeing a crypto-themed trading card released in a popular series of collectible BASEBALL cards is extra sweet!

I look at Topps like I do at your company. both are premier companies in their respective fields.

Thank you for the kind words, dolphriends. That is one of the most generous compliments that our company has ever received, and I will happily and humbly accept it. I look forward to continually meeting (and hopefully exceeding) your high expectations with each future release.

Once again, you are too kind. Thank you.

Was looking at the PSA sight to see how many glow in the darks were graded for the entire set, wow only 13 total cards and 7 were PSA 10.   

[dolphriends]

Will be opening a box of 2018 A&G X in a few days.  Will be over the rainbow if I pull any of the following,  silver mini #83 or silver mini #84 marine national monument, red mini #83 or red mini #222 solar or a black mini #83.  Any of these would be super and who knows maybe I score a couple of them, and maybe not lol.  It's all fun to me and never take it too seriously.  Just enjoy the hunt

The only two silvers that havn't shown up are #83 and 384

The mini red's only one #222 and two #83's have shown up

Probably less of a chance to pull a mini black #83 since probably 40 have already shown up out of probably 50 made.


Going to be fun

There are 100 mini x all black.  50 no number.  25 Brooklyn.  About 10 glow in the dark.  5 mini red x. 1 silver. 

I like to review the first page of this thread every once in a while  as a refresher 😀

Got it, anyway I will jump with joy if I get any of the above LOL.  My thought is every time a box gets opened the odds improve to find the silver, I opened a box about a month ago I got on ebay and nothing really.  I think this one might be a super lucky box.
